Microphone Control Buttons - Toshiba Strata DK14 General Description Manual

Microphone Control Buttons

Digital telephones can be programmed with a Microphn Cut-off button, which turns the
microphone inside the telephone on and off while idle.
If a Microphn Cut-off button is assigned on a station, the station user can enable or disable the
Handsfree Answerback microphone for that station when the station is in the idle state. This is
used for station security and ensures that a private office conversation is not heard when the
Handsfree Answerback is enabled. This function also blocks room monitoring.
The operation of the Microphn Cut-off button can be assigned as either auto-on or auto-off in
programming. This enables each station user to use the Microphn Cut-off button whichever way is
best for them.
When used during a speakerphone conversation, a fixed Mic button disables and enables the
station's microphone. This enables the station user to temporarily block the other party from
hearing the conversation.
Benefits
Ensures that no intercom callers can hear private office conversations (if the system is
programmed for voice signaling) when the caller is using Handsfree Answerback feature. The
Microphn Cut-off button disables Handsfree Answerback.
The Mic button is especially helpful when multiple people are talking through the speakerphone to
the party on the other end. Using the Mic button, they can confer among themselves while
preventing the other party from hearing their conversation.
